Wednesdays Skirmishing.
The Enemy Weakens and the Friends
Strengthen The Bill. Goes to
its Third Reading.

Wednesday, February 16. At 10
80 a. NJ, Mr.. Carr called for the
special order, House Bill 50.
The question being on Mr..
Flournoy's amendment, the same
was adopted, as follows:
"SEc. 7. Nothing herein con-
tanned shall be construed SO as to
prevent any manufacturer in this
State from selling by wholesale to
persons residing out of this State
and in State where it is not un-
lawful to sell spirituous liquors
by retail"
The friends of the Bill promptly
accepted this amendment, as it
only interpreted the act in ad-
vance, as to selling without the
State, and would avert litigation.
Mr.. Carr moved to reconsider the
vote by which the time was fixed
at January l, 1888, for the act to
take effect.
Mr.. Scott moved to lay Mr.. Carr's
motion on the table.
Mr.. Carr demanded the yeas and
nays.
The ayes were:
Messrs. Price, (President,) Get
finger, McCallister, Oxley, Price
(of Marshall,) Scott, Sommerville,
Sweeney, Unger, Van Pelt and
Woodyard-11.
The noes were:
Messrs. Arnold. Bond, Brown,
Carr, Dawson, Flournoy, Furbee,
Gwinn, Maxwell, Minear, Morris,
Morrison, McCreery, and Switzer
Ia.
Mr.. Snyder not voting.
SO the motion to lay on the ia.
BILE was lost.
TIME FIXED AT NOV. l, 1887.
Mr.. Carr's motion to reconsider,
having prevailed, on his further
motion, the time for the act to take
effect was fixed at November i i,
1887, this amendment being agreed
to by Mr.. Flournoy, who offered
the original amendment as to time
for saloon funerals.
On motion of Mr.. Dawson the
Bill was further amended by ad-
ding at the end of section 1, the
following:
"And no license heretofore
granted or that may be hereafter
granted to sell any intoxicating
liquors, shall remain in force long
er than the 31st day of October,
1887"
The bill was then ordered to a
third reading.
So far this was a quiet and un-
exciting Prohibition day, as COM
pared with others. But it soon
became evident that the stiffness
was only the precursor of
ANOTHER COMING STORM.
During the afternoon it was
noticed that Senator Scott and
attorney Mr.. White, of Wheeling,
who talks to Sunday Schools one
day and Hobbies for liquor saloons
six days in the week, were busy
working up votes to reconsider
and open the way for further
batch Of dilatory amendments.
And the manifest interest of one
Senator especially, (who had voted
for the amendment after much
hedging and hindering) in further
ing this flank movement, gave the
friends of the Bill special alarm
and put them to extra vigilance
and caution.
STRENGTHENING THE OUTP0sTs.
Further reports from the Home
sentinels making it evident that
the Senator referred to had gone
over to the enemy and would OPP
pose the Bill, attention was given
to other points, and the evening
till midnight was spent in
strengthening the outposts against
any possible surprise or assault.
What the enemies dc, they must
do quickly. The Prohibitory Bill

MIR. McCallister called for the
announcement of the vote on
agreeing to
House Joint Resolution No. 1,
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution OF the State, Prohib-
iting the Manufacture and sale Of
Intoxicating Liquors"

Virginia, tyo thirds of all the

MR.. SCOTT VOTES NO.
Mr.. Scott, of Ohio county, being

Soon after the morning session
opened, House Bill 80 was taken
up and read third time and was
about to be pressed to its passage,
when the enemy boldly attempted
a flank movement different from
that planned the evening before.
Failing to secure support for re-
consideration of the vote by which
the Bill was ordered to its third
reading, another shift to delay,
and another effort to save Ohio
county liquoruom must be made,
and so We have
SENATOR SCOTS LAST FoRLoRN
HOPE.
Mr.. Scott moved that the bill be referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary with in
structions to that Committee to report said
bill back with the following amendment:
section s. Provided, however, that the
provisions of this Act shall not apply to or
be enforced within the counties of Ohio or
Cabell, if at an election held in the said
counties before the LIST day of November,
1887, on day fixed by the Board of Com
missioners of said county, a majority of the
votes cast at such election shall be against
the enforcement of this act in said coun-
ties. At such election, which such board
is authorized to have held in said counties,
the ballots shall have writ en- or printed
thereon the words For Prohibition Act or
the words Against Prohibition Act and
notice OF such election shall be given and
published, and such election shall be con-
Quoted, and the result thereof ascertained
and declared by said Board of Commission
ers, as in cases of elections votes upon
the question Of subscription by the coun-
ty to a work of internal improvement"
Mr.. Morris protested against fur.
ther trifing with these dilatory
motions.
Mr.. Scott plead for the sacred
right of Ohio county to vote on
Prohibition, though he had been
fighting for four weeks to
prevent the people of the whole
State from having the same right.
Mr.. McCreery opposed the mo-
tion "to refer back" and when he
had spoken up to the hour of ii a.

talking against tsme, and now it
was II o'clock, the time for the Spe.

immigration movement TO this country is
probable during the present month. The
number Of this class Of passengers arriving
at Queenstown is said to be very large and
the accommodations for them at that port
are reported so inadequate that many are
camping in the streets. The present year

heavy movement to this country. The

The April number OF NucmRaA's -Mtsasiue
vii contain Lore, Tcnny sons Jubilee Ode 10 Queen
Victoria. No confidence is violated in giving the
sheets.
Victoria, Regent ol the seas,
Thy vast possessions far extend
From East to West, and comprehend
The rugged Celt and Wild Burmese
Fair England's strength is everywhere,
From peopled mart to solitude,
While eke the transatlantic dude
Affects the vacant English stare.
When rhythmic rage was at its flood,
While blindIy cropping in the dark,
l hurled a very crude remark
At "cornets' and the "Normon blood"
Such foolish speech now discard,
For titled fame is truly dear;
And three months of the favored peer
Is worth 4 decade of the bard.
The outlook does not yet appall,
The march of progress will not halt
So take with several grains of salt
My latest views on Lockslcv Hall.
Fair ruler Of noble race,
Look out beyond the ocean tide
And see how English fashions guide
The shaving Of the alien face
Although the democratic tide
Bears down the ancient royal power;
Though distant storn.clouds darkly
lower,
Enough remains OF rank, Of power.
The half loaf maxim recall
And feel It when l sorrow least:
10 skirn,ish on ten cent feast
Is better than no feast at all.
Though angry men assail the throne
And seek to tear the kindom down,
The English Queen yet wears crowr
And sometimes lays corner. stone.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The Beacon is again with visor down
and lance invest and with Quixotic val0r
charging the Wichita & Valley Center
motor line 1t has no attack to make upon
the Electric Motor Line because their ma.
terial is first class in every particular, yet
our material is identically the same, pur-
chased from the same parties, out of the
samo lot and BIZ the same man, ties, tram
and T rails, nor is anything said against
the miles of light T rails used by the WITCH
tia Street Railway Company. l have been
informed that Mr. B. H. Campbell (called
on the range Barbecue) is large owner in
the Wichita street railway, in the Electric
Motor Line and in the Beacon. Now if
this is so it does not require great deal OF
divination to discover the tactical fluid in
the cocoanut. To the charge of having
purchased I'd class cars we plead guilty
but they are good, large and
roomy, will be run on a broad: guage track
and be warmed in winter and are far SUI
perior to the cars used by the Street Rail
road Co.
The Beacon should be the last to object
to second class material, for without it, il
would, in the language of the Hon. VIM.
Allen, of Ohio, be a dimnation narrow
ideality; its columns would be blank but
for the blowing well known brands, viz:
from the Kansas City Journal, from the
Chicago News, from the Boston Globe,
from the New Orleans Times Democrat,
from the Texas Sitting, from Puck, from
the Courier Journal, ETC., etc The pro-
duction of any original matter in its edito-
rial columns would be looked upon as a

TO others it is of no concern.
We are not going to build unit! we get

managing this enterprise In our own way
and risking our own money, $50 without

are we going to ask any advice from the
